I was just saying yesterday I don't mind leaving plates and cups in the dish rack until it is overfilled. Its kinda handy always having a plate and silverware clean and ready to be reached for. I didn't think of the very simple solution to my non-problem until I saw this picture in this month's Home and Garden:

Blurriness aside, isn't that an adorable kitchen? Green is my second favorite color and this picture almost made me want to repaint my perfect grey kitchen. Almost.

My kitchen has two windows with a gap between them just like this but I have a picture and decorative shelf there. A little cabinet with a dishrack would be much handier and practical.

This one looks like an existing cabinet had its doors dumped and a rack retro-fitted. It also made me realise how simple this would be to create with a regular old bookshelf. Or you could troll the "as is" section at Ikea.

Clearly not a "diy" setup. This one cabinet probably cost more than all of mine combined.

And this one? Scares the daylights out of me. I bet vampires live inside those horrible cabinet coffins and are just waiting for someone to reach for a plate so they can SWOOP in.
